Have you ever stopped to wonder what an artist endures when they pour their heart and soul into creating a deeply emotional, tear-jerking song? 🎶 As listeners, we’re often moved by the beauty of their music—grateful for the melodies that resonate with our emotions. A song that speaks to the soul, evoking raw feelings, is cherished by many. But how often do we pause to consider the pain, reflection, and courage it takes for the artist to craft such a powerful piece? The sleepless nights, the emotional weight, the vulnerability of baring one’s soul to the world—it’s a journey that deserves recognition. I want to celebrate and applaud Li Na for her bravery in sharing her deepest experiences through her music. Her willingness to be vulnerable has touched countless hearts, reminding us all of the power of authenticity and storytelling. 🌟🎤💖 Check out her amazing work on YouTube—link below!

How does grieving differ when the person is still alive versus when they have passed away? ✨ Grief isn’t just reserved for those who have lost someone to death—it can also be deeply felt for those who are still alive but no longer present in our lives. Whether it’s the end of a friendship, a breakup, or the gradual fading of a once-close bond, the pain of losing someone emotionally can be just as profound as losing them physically. Yet, we often dismiss this kind of grief. When a friend confides in us about the heartbreak of a friendship ending, we may brush it off with, “Friends come and go, you’ll be okay.” While this may hold some truth, it can feel invalidating to someone who is truly hurting. Grief takes many forms, and every loss—whether permanent or temporary—deserves to be acknowledged. The way we respond to someone’s pain matters. Let’s be mindful, compassionate, and understanding, because sometimes, a listening ear and a kind heart can make all the difference. 💙 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://youtu.be/VdKnoQ0QIus - Spotify: currently having technical difficulties, will update later! 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

Have You Ever Grieved the Loss of a Friendship? 💔 Losing a friend—whether through conflict, distance, or personal growth—can feel just as heartbreaking as any other kind of loss. It’s completely normal to go through the stages of grief, whether it’s over a friendship, a job, or even the passing of a loved one. I deeply admire Lydia for bravely sharing her story and the mental challenges she faced after losing close friendships. One statement that truly resonated with me was: “I grieved for people who were still alive.” That hits hard. Unlike mourning someone who has passed, losing a friendship means still seeing them around, knowing that what you once had is gone. That kind of grief can be incredibly painful to process. But here’s something important to remember: Reflection and accountability are key parts of healing. It’s easy to focus on the pain, but true growth happens when we take a step back and honestly assess our own actions. What role did we play? What lessons can we take from this? Learning from these experiences not only helps us heal but also shapes us into better, more self-aware individuals. Grief isn’t just about loss—it’s also about transformation. Embrace the lessons, cherish the memories, and keep growing. 🌱💖 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://youtu.be/VdKnoQ0QIus - Spotify: currently having technical difficulties, will update later! 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

Have you ever found yourself changing who you are just to fit in with a group of people? 🌟 I have! There was a time when I thought that the more friends I had, the more loved and valued I would feel. While having a big circle of friends can be wonderful, I’ve learned something powerful: if you have to put on a mask and hide your true self just to “belong,” those friendships may not be as genuine as you deserve. 💡 True friends accept and cherish you for who you are—no filters, no facades. Be unapologetically YOU, and the right people will love you for it. 💖 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://youtu.be/VdKnoQ0QIus - Spotify: currently having technical difficulties, will update later! 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

🌟 What hobby helped you through your darkest moments? 🌟 Valentine shared how Hmong dancing became her light during some of her darkest times. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of checking in on our teammates, friends, and loved ones. When I was dancing alongside Valentine, I had no idea what she was going through. Hearing her story later left me feeling both sad and a little guilty for not realizing—but more than anything, I felt inspired by her courage. I deeply admire her for opening up and sharing how Hmong dancing not only saved her but continues to hold such a special place in her heart. 💃💖 Let’s remember to be kind, to listen, and to support each other. You never know who might need it. ❤️ 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tIgixgHOyw - Spotify: currently having technical difficulties, will update later! 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

What cultural stigma do you notice surrounding Hmong dancing?🤔 Valentine made a thought-provoking observation: Hmong dancing has traditionally been viewed as a hobby primarily for females. However, it’s incredibly inspiring to witness this perspective shift as more males embrace the art form. Seeing this evolution is truly liberating and empowering—it reminds us that creativity knows no boundaries. 💃🕺 We live in a rapidly changing world, and Hmong dancing is no exception. The art form continues to evolve, blending tradition with modernity. While it may be challenging to keep up with these changes, it’s a testament to our resilience and dedication to preserving and sharing our culture. Each new step, every performance, brings us closer to celebrating the beauty of who we are. ✨ Let’s continue to dance, adapt, and thrive! 🙌 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tIgixgHOyw - Spotify: currently having technical difficulties, will update later! 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

Have you ever had a hobby you once loved deeply lose its spark because of life’s twists and turns? 🌟 Val and I reflected on this as we reminisced about our time dancing together in previous groups. For her, those moments were filled with joy and positivity, a cherished chapter of her journey. 💃✨ But for me, it was a different story. I was navigating significant mental health challenges at the time, which slowly dimmed my love for Hmong dancing—a passion that once brought me so much happiness. And you know what? That’s okay. It’s completely normal to go through phases where something you once adored feels overwhelming or less enjoyable. Life isn’t always linear, and neither is our relationship with the things we love. 💛 If you’re feeling this way, give yourself grace. Sometimes, stepping away allows space for healing and for that spark to reignite when the time is right. 🌱💫 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tIgixgHOyw - Spotify: currently having technical difficulties, will update later! 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

Have you ever felt truly alone on your journey, as though no one could possibly understand the struggles you’re facing?🤔 Kou opens up about his own experience—feeling isolated and consumed by darkness during his battle with addiction and recovery. It was a time when the weight of the world seemed unbearable. But he discovered something profound: when you open your heart and mind, you begin to see that your journey isn’t so different from others’. 🌟 There’s a shared strength in vulnerability. By embracing the truth that countless others have walked similar paths, you realize that you are far from alone. Together, we are stronger. Together, we can rise. 💪✨ 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od57zGvIgUA - Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/untamed-minds1/episodes/Untamed-Minds-S2E6-Addition-Is-Like-Being-Thirsty-For-Water-e2ridob 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

How can this story inspire you to reflect on the ways you support and connect with the young people in your life? 🤔 In the Hmong community, it’s often seen as “normal” for young people to be exposed to substances at an early age. However, early exposure significantly increases the likelihood of future use. I want to commend Kou for bravely sharing his story about his first experience with substance use and how seeking professional help allowed him to uncover the deeper reasons he turned to substances for comfort. This is a powerful reminder of how vital it is to stay attentive and connected to our children’s lives. 🌟💪 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od57zGvIgUA - Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/untamed-minds1/episodes/Untamed-Minds-S2E6-Addition-Is-Like-Being-Thirsty-For-Water-e2ridob 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

What childhood trauma still lingers in your heart, waiting for closure?🤔 I deeply admire Kou for his courage in sharing such a profoundly personal story—one that left an indelible mark on his childhood and shaped his journey through substance use. His vulnerability sheds light on a powerful truth: if we don’t seek professional support to confront and heal our wounds, we risk causing more harm to ourselves than we can imagine. 💡❤️ Kou’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that healing is not just possible—it’s essential for growth, peace, and self-love. 🌟 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od57zGvIgUA - Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/untamed-minds1/episodes/Untamed-Minds-S2E6-Addition-Is-Like-Being-Thirsty-For-Water-e2ridob 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖

Have you ever let someone’s judgment weigh you down? 🌟 The truth is, everyone judges—even when they don’t mean to. People may form opinions about your life, your choices, your family, or your lifestyle. But here’s the real question: What will you do with those judgments? Will you let them hold you back, or will you use them as fuel to rise even higher? ✨ Remember, the only opinion that truly matters is your own. You cannot control their actions, but you can control your reaction. When you embrace this truth, you unlock the power to face any challenge, conquer any fear, and keep moving forward with confidence. 🔥 Let their words be noise, and let your vision be your guide. You’ve got this! 💪 🎧Streaming on: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5s0M2Isgi0 - Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/untamed-minds1/episodes/Untamed-Minds-S2E5-Being-Vulnerable-Makes-You-Strong-e2qut66 🤝Stay connected and follow me on Untamed Minds: linktr.ee/untamedminds1 Thank you all for your continuous support! 🙏💖
